turlo Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 Any news on cags after tonight and when's Wilf off to AFCON? Do we even have any available CBs who can play in a back 4 for the weekend?! Would rather Rodgers play Vestergaard in a back 4 and tweak the system a bit rather than playing a makeshift back 3 and end up getting overran anyway due to sacrificing the extra midfielder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only have 1 proper centre half, why compound the problem by adding 2 makeshift one's there and weaken your midfield as well, surely that's common sense. Play a back 4 and protect it. Rodgers is an utter twat at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoyleFox Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 Is there any possibility that if I get a note from my Mother, we don't have to play, like you did in the old days for PE at school? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Col city fan Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 To be honest, Covid could do us a favour at the moment. If we have to try to play against Man City without Soyuncu or Evans we are going to get fooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hejammy Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 I'm hoping Pep realises we have a major injury crisis and plays a weakened team and the score line stays below 3 goals. If he doesn't I'm concerned for the confidence of certainly the younger members of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oadby.fox Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 After having needlessly risked and lost players in the cup against Liverpool, I just really want to see this one out without any more injuries to the first team (many of which are now second or third choice players). We always seem to play these around Christmas but I’ve never been less confident of a result. If I was Rodgers, I’d do a Klopp and bemoan the bad referring, lack of protection for our players plus the fixture congestion and then just send out the kids. Either that or forfeit the game. It is not worth sending everyone out just to get hammered and incur another injury or a suspension to a defender when they have to take out a Man City player. Let everyone rest at home and enjoy Christmas and then fully focus on trying to get something back against Liverpool (unlikely) but at least it’ll give us some time to recover.

TrentFox Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 The timid, half-hearted performances this season have in no way influenced my selection for next game, but I’d try - Blonde highlights Mascara Concealer Lovely locks Liquid eyeliner Moisturiser Bronzer Eye shadow Lip gloss Toner Cleanser I do realise this is extremely controversial - as bronzer isn’t really a good call in a double-pivot. But nail-polish is injured, so we’ll have to make do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bold line-up, but I'm not sure the league is going to let us field Madders on his own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 With the defensive injuries Rodgers has every excuse going for these next 2 games. Any news on whether Evans will be back? And Castagne? If they are out we are ****ed big time. I'd be throwing Nelson in, baptism of fire but can't be any worse. My only hope is usually we do ok defending against Man City, to a point, as they pass the ball around the edge of our box rather than running at us like Liverpool do. But their movement is excellent and we don't bother tracking runners. Just attack them and see what happens. We do have success against these on the counter.

Maybe chuck the kids in, and let the rest of them rest and recover for the next winnable game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 23 December 2021 Share Posted 23 December 2021 (edited) Think Brendan had delusions of grandeur thinking he was a prime candidate to fill Pep's shoes when he leaves, this will be very much a case of "Look what you could have won" for Brodge. Incidentally might give this one a miss, I can't watch Man City games at the best of times mixed with our insipidity, i'm not sure I can handle the excitement.
